Venus Williams was in a car crash that sent the passenger of the other car to the ICU, where he later died, according to a report from TMZ based on a police report.

According to TMZ, the driver of the other car told police she was approaching an intersection when Williams' SUV entered the intersection, causing the other car to T-bone Williams' vehicle.

Williams reportedly told police she was trying to get through the intersection but had to slow down because of traffic, leaving her car exposed.

According to TMZ, the driver claimed she had no time to stop. The driver reportedly had broken bones but was ultimately OK, but her 78-year-old husband was taken to the ICU with head trauma and died two weeks later.

The police report said Williams "is at fault for violating the right of way" of the other driver, TMZ reported.

According to TMZ, there is no evidence Williams was driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or driving distracted.

Williams' agent did not immediately respond to request for comment from Business Insider.
